Another Must Have Monday… errr, Tuesday!

Perhaps I need to come up with a new name for our contest! And perhaps that will be your task this week. This week’s prize is one of my favorite pendants; black and white with bumps all over…

So what shall we call this weekly contest? Must Have Monday works when I have time to get it ready on Monday but doesn’t make much sense on Tuesday. So throw out some suggestions and the one that I choose will win the pendant!

I’ll be back tomorrow afternoon to see what my choices are… be creative. I know you can!

Must Have Monday… errr.. Tuesday! Again…

Shame on  me! I missed last week’s contest and this week’s I’m a day late! I’m blaming it on the cold winter weather and my urge to hunker down, hibernate and dream about Spring.

This year I’m going to try some different contests to see if we can get more participation. One of my goals this year is to hit the 500 fan mark on Facebook.  SO this week’s contest is going to include some extra work on your part. Hopefully the prize will make it worthwhile!

Because I’m dreaming of spring, I chose a spring like Splat for this week’s prize. And it  includes the hand dyed silk cord as well. We’re headed to the Florida Keys for Spring Break and these colors remind me of the varied colors of the ocean…

Sooooooo… this week anyone that gets a friend to join in our contest will have their name put into a bowl and I will draw the winning name on Friday morning. The more friends that join in the more times I put your name in the bowl! If your friend becomes a new fan on my Facebook page, I’ll put BOTH of your names in the bowl.

Any questions? Does it make sense? I won’t do this all the time. But I would love to see more people join in on our Must Have Monday’s… so spread the word this week! Please? Thanks!!

Must Have Monday… Jan. 18, 2010

There, I’m back in the swing of things! Must Have Monday back on Monday like it should be. This week’s prize is a bright pair of earrings. It’s dreary, gray and cold here in Michigan so I wanted to offer something to brighten up your winter’s day. This set is a favorite of mine. I love the odd shape and the combination of colors. Purple, royal blue and lime green should match something in your wardrobe!

I’m trying to come up with some other contests… I’m getting bored with choosing numbers each week.  Aren’t you? So this week we’ll do a combo, two part contest. Are you with me? I’m thinking of a number between 1 ~ 100 but you have to throw in a contest idea when you post your number.No exceptions!

Other than that it’s the same as usual. One guess per person until tomorrow at 11am. If no one has it by that point you can make as many guesses as you wish. And remember, if you’ve won something in the last few months, please feel free to give me contest ideas but let someone who hasn’t won yet have the chance to win the earrings.

Have fun, pass the word and as always, thanks for playing!!

Must Have Monday…errr… Tuesday 1/12/10

Sorry I’m late this week. I’ve been distracted by plans to go to Phoenix next week and the Florida Keys in April. But better late than never, right?

This week’s prize is a key chain in a new style for me. It’s one I’ve borrowed from my buddy Paula and yes, I have permission! It’s in navy blues and silvered ivory and will also clip on backpacks and purses if you’d rather use it as a charm.

Gosh! What number should I choose this week? I’m thinking of a number between 1 ~ 100. And it has something to do with one of the trips I’ve been planning…

You can choose one number per person and if no one has figured it out by tomorrow at 11am, you can throw me numbers until someone wins!

Good luck and have fun! Thanks for playing…

First Must Have Monday of 2010!

Happy New Year! It’s hard to believe we’re at the beginning of a new decade. I hope everyone had a wonderful and peaceful holiday season. It sure was nice to have my family home for a few weeks. But now it’s time to start up 2010’s Must Have Monday. Sorry I got a late start, my computer is acting up and I couldn’t get my pictures to load…

You know the drill! Please post your guesses here on my blog. I’m thinking of a number between 1 ~ 200. One guess per person until tomorrow at 11am EST. If no one has chosen it by then you may guess away until we have a winner! This week’s prize is a fun hollow pendant in orange, brown and sky blue.

Thanks for playing along. I’m looking forward to a great 2010! Hope yours is wonderful too!

Dec. 14 Must Have Monday

Time to get this week’s contest started. But you’ll have to wait for the prize picture until I get home later today. I have the awesome privilege of being present at the birth of Ryan and Tara Lafferty’s baby and I forgot to get this set up before I left for the hospital!

So… you’re playing for a Christmas Light pendant this week. And I’m thinking of a number between 1 ~ 350. One guess per person until 11 am EST tomorrow morning.  I’ll post a picture of the pendant once I meet Baby Lafferty!

December 7, 2009 Must Have Monday!

Since we’re getting closer to Christmas, I thought I’d choose a Christmas-y-sh pendant for this week’s Must Have Monday. It’s a pretty red and white combo that will actually look good year round.

And since picking a number seems to bring out more of you than anything else I’ve come up with… I’m thinking of a number between 1 and 350 again. One number per person until tomorrow at 11 am EST. And if you’ve won in the last 4 weeks, let’s give someone else a chance.

All right, what number should I choose???

November 30 Must Have Monday Contest

Time for another Must Have Monday! This week you’re playing for one of my beaded key chains. And since I seem to get the most participation when you’re guessing numbers… Pick one number between 1 and 350. Post it here on my blog. If the number hasn’t been guessed by tomorrow morning at 11am EST then you can make as many guesses as it takes until someone wins. I will post the winner both here and on my Facebook fan page.

Let me see, what number shall I pick this week?  Have fun!
